| …Obi-Datti on the campaign trail |
The Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign is being taken to another level as the presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, his vice, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmad and their wives, Margaret Obi and Hajiya Aisha Baba-Ahmad, are in different locations across the country persuading Nigerians to join the take-back Nigeria train.
Obi-Datti Media reports that fresh from the nationwide campaigns rallies across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Obi, and his team have continued their whistle stops at strategic points.
The presidential candidate who was back in Lagos, Monday, to meet with traders in various markets, and in Enugu and Nnewi on Tuesday, arrived Owerri, Imo state capital on Thursday to a tumultuous reception by organic supporters of youths and traders in various markets in the city.
And his vice, Datti Baba-Ahmad, was at the same time leading another Obi-Datti team for a royal engagement in Onitsha, Anambra state, where they met with the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, in his palace.
In Benin, Edo state, one of the front-running Obidient states, their spouses were also engaging strategic stakeholders, the women, in a frank talk on the role of women in the emerging new Nigeria.
In all the locations, the message is clear, a new Nigeria is possible and is on the way by February 25, 2023, but the people must stand out to be counted and to make it possible.
Securing and uniting Nigerians remain the top priorities, if elected and they keep pushing the message. Without a secure environment, we cannot produce and without production, we cannot lift or give our youths jobs, without jobs, we cannot lift people out of poverty and when people are poor and unemployed, crimes and criminalities will keep rising, the stated.
In Imo, the presidential flag bearer was again confronted with a touching show of love by the people, including a nursing mother with a small baby who caught the attention of the candidate and he had to lift the baby in admiration and cheer of the crowd.
Recall that in Lagos, a young teenager Alabi, in a show of love, had to block Obi’s vehicle just to appreciate him and in his characteristic manner, Obi prevented security operatives from forcing him out but instead, met the young lad.
Obi-Datti Media also disclosed that while the people at every location are showing love to the candidate with their organic behavior toward him, he, on his part, continued to pour out his compassionate self to them.
What Obi-Datti and their team continue to show to Nigerians is that the job of a president and vice president of this country requires physical and mental alertness, which only the duo can provide Nigeria among the lot vying for the office.
